National Institute for Regional and Spatial Analysis

Regional and Spatial Planning

AIRO is based within NIRSA at NUI Maynooth and manages all spatial analysis projects within the institution. NIRSA, established in 2001 and centered in NUI Maynooth, is a collaborative partnership of scholars from a number of social science disciplines located in four partner institutions: NUI Maynooth, Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick, Institute of Technology Sligo and Queen’s University Belfast. The role of the institute is to undertake fundamental, applied and comparative research on spatial processes and their effects on social and economic development in Ireland, and to provide high quality graduate education to the next generation of Irish social scientists. To date over 300 researchers have been affiliated to NIRSA and over 150 of them have received competitive funding from the institute. Over 200 projects have received external funding since 2001, totaling over €55 million.

International Centre for Local and Regional Development (ICLRD)

All-Island Spatial Planning

The International Centre for Local and Regional Development(ICLRD) is a North-South-US partnership programme created to explore and expand the contribution that planning and the development of physical, social and economic infrastructures can make to improving the lives of people in both Irish jurisdictions – particularly those in divided and disadvantaged areas – and thus to peace-building and reconciliation on the island. AIRO acts as the primary mapping and data analysis team for all ICLRD projects.

The ICLRD provides independent research, planning analysis and a range of international experience to assist policy makers, practitioners, local officials and community groups in promoting good local and regional planning as part of the process of conflict resolution and in achieving greater social and economic cohesion.
